There Can Be Only One
Hey, reader, check out who got his letter published in this week's College Basketball Mailbag in Sports Illustrated. Given his previous work-- a college-basketball-related letter in the New York Times--Adil is well on his way to challenging his protegé (and fellow Washington Post alum) Sewell Chan (pictured) for journalistic supremacy.

There was a log-in mixup. It was I, cold4thestreets, who put up this post. Sugarpockets doesn't think so highly of Adil as I do.
ah, C4TS, i would have kept your secret--you didn't have to out yourself.
Washington Post "alum?"
alright.
Justin, I sorted mail at the Washington Post while Sewell wrote cover stories about the crime wave that hit the city that summer. We are then both alumni, in the loosest sense of the word. He's moved on to the Times, and I to this blog.
On his first day of work, I vouched for Sewell when he showed up ass-early before anyone was in the newsroom, but me (as per my job description). He helped me sort mail and made my rounds in the two hours he had to kill. The guy is really about the most driven person I've met. Even while taking the newsroom by storm, impressing editors, he always found time to hang with me, and by the end of that first week, was doing my job better than i was. It's a rare thing, but the guy deserves every ounce of his success.
